Transverse Stresses in Antisymmetric Angle Ply Sandwich Plates – Analytical Evaluation of Refined Higher Order Shear Deformation Theories

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present work two higher order computational models with 9 and 12 DOF already available in the literature for which analytical formulations and solutions for the stress analysis not yet reported are considered. In addition to these models, few higher order models and the first order model developed by other investigators are also considered for the evaluation. A simply supported plate subjected to sinusoidal transverse load with SS-2 boundary conditions is considered for the analysis. Solutions are obtained using Navier's technique. Transverse stresses are computed by post processing technique and the accuracy of models in predicting the stresses is evaluated.
